The University of Ghana Grading System
Using standardized measurements for various degrees of accomplishment in a course is the process of grading in education. Grades can be given as letters (often A through F), a range (such as 1 to 6), a percentage, or a number as a percentage of the total possible (often out of 100).
Grades are averaged to get a grade point average in various nations (GPA). The number of grade points a student gets over the course of a semester is used to compute their GPA. For students in high school, college, and graduate school, GPAs are frequently computed.
Potential employers or educational institutions might use it to evaluate and contrast applicants. A student’s overall performance is gauged by their cumulative grade point average (CGPA), also known as just GPA.
| Grade | Scale | Grade Description | US Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| A+ | A+ | ||
| A | 80.00 – 100.00 | Outstanding | A |
| A- | A- | ||
